#Caché

I am reviewing some code where the % sign has been used liberally to name arrays that are worked on by different methods within the same class. Apparently it is not good practice to name variables with a "%" sign as the first character because this could overwrite other similarly named variables from other developers, including ISC!  Is there another way to make a variable public ? 

I'm getting this compilation error:

Kompilieren der Klasse digi.packet
FEHLER #5002: Caché-Fehler: <FUNCTION>zLockUse+5^%ExtentMgr.GlobalRegistry.1
  > FEHLER #5030: Während der Kompilierung von Klasse 'digi.packet' ist ein Fehler aufgetreten

when importing one of my classes on the production server into one particular namespace:

• the class compiles just fine on dev pc.
• the class compiles just fine also in any other namespace of the same cache instance. So, looks as a problem of this particular namespace.

In my routine when I call set filestream.FileName = filename, I get an error

"cn_iptcp://localhost:56773/USER/%Stream.FileBinary.1.INT" does not exist on the Server

I successfully instantiate the %Stream.FileCharacter object. 'filestream' value is '1@%Stream.FileCharacter'. But when I debug the code, the step where I try to set the file name fails. 

The port number for local host looks good for my current instance. I have tried a few variations, such as using the method FileNameSet(). But this did not work either. 

My routine exists in the USER namespace, as indicated in the error.

For a solo developer developing web applications what will be the best  technology to use IRIS or Studio with cache database and containers for deployment

Is it just me or is the sync mechanism way too slow and too trigger happy to be used for large projects? It keeps "Caching for server connection" which takes a good five minutes!  

Has it been tested with a large number of classes and CPSs? I have about 2000 of each.

Hello,

I'm trying to convert JSON response to object in cache 2010.

My Code is bellow:

set sc = ##class(%ZEN.Auxiliary.jsonProvider).%ParseJSON(resptext,,.pObject,1)

my JSON response

{"access_token":"DSAFFDSGFDGTRHTRHTRH","in":"2522","refresh":"","scope":"send","token_type":"Bearer"}

the result :  "9@%ZEN.proxyObject" 

I have a date in this format: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS+HHMM" how can I convert it to UTC?

write $zdth("2018-02-01 00:00:00+0600",3,5)
>64680,0
write $zdt("64680,0",3,5)
>2018-02-01T00:00:00+03:00

As you see, timezone is lost. Docs for $zdth in timeopt (5) state: Specify time in the form "hh:mm:ss+/-hh:mm" (24-hour clock). The time is specified as local time. The following optional suffix may be supplied, but is ignored: a plus (+) or minus (–) suffix followed by the offset of local time from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

SetIdentityInsert call controls the ability of the user to specify a value for the IDENTITY property when saving a new object, a value for the IDENTITY column or an explicit ROWID value in an SQL INSERT. If IDENTITY_INSERT is false and the user specifies an explicit IDENTITY or ROWID value when saving a new object or inserting a new ROW then an error condition is reported.

Setting takes effect immediately and lasts for the duration of the process or until SetIdentityInsert is called again.

My question is how can I change this setting system-wide?

What is the best way to learn mirroring? Are there any videos on learnings at InterSystems community?

I am new to Intersystems Cache, so please bear with me. We are using HealthShare 2013.1. 

I have a routine to compare databases from separate instances where I want to ignore values that begin with %sqlcq. I thought this would be easy with pattern matching operator '?' but it is proving difficult and it seems to be because of the percent character. 

For example:

set x = "%sqlcq.something.value.foo"

#;does not evaluate as true. 
if x?1P1"sqlcq" {write "valid"}

set y="sqlcq.something.value.bar"

if y?1"sqlcq".E {write "valid"}
valid
if x?1"sqlcq".

I have a requirement to use DES encryption, but looking at the document found no support. I want to know how to solve it.

Hi,

is anyone using Powershell to access Caché terminal in non-english systems?

I'm trying to access using: csession INSTANCE

But from the beginning it fails to represent spanish characters like ñ,...

It doesn't recognize  up-down cursor keys to see previous commands...

Any idea?

I am currently working with someone who is in the process of moving an application written in Cache Object Script over to a Windows server. It was previously running on a Linux server so all of the paths are unix style paths. Is anyone aware of a way to have cache remap paths to different paths so this user won't have to go through all of the scripts and change them?

In older versions of Cache 2007 for example you could setup a device where the name was "/somefolder/" and the physical path was "C:\somefolder\" and that worked.

Hi Community,

I have a need to access the Lock Table to find the Process ID of the process that has a particular global node Locked. The process holding the lock could be on any one of four application servers.

Having identified the Process ID, I then need to interrogate the local variables for that process, to find an application User ID.

I can then inform the current user which of their colleagues has a particular record locked, preventing them from continuing with their work...

Are these things I can do under Caché?

I have an application which is distributed across maybe 5 servers since it has over a thousand users at a time we had an upgrade to the application last week and I had an integration build that uses the REST service (  ##class(%Net.HttpResponse) but since the upgrade the integration has not be able to communicate with the application tried testing my URL through Postman and all seems ok but if I test direct  I get a 500 error anything that I need to check on please or any advice on how to check what's going on. I have used SoapUI with 200 result so as postman and swagger

Hi guys!

Suppose you developed a tool, framework, library on InterSystems ObjectScript for InterSystems Data Platform, share it via Open Exchange and want people to install it. 

What is the best strategy if it is a library and supposed to be called from different namespaces?

Here are the following thoughts:

1. Tool's developer should be able to use globals to read/store data the tool needs.

2. Tool's consumer should be confident, that the thing he/she installs will not harm the application's data.

3. A tool should be callable from any application's namespace.

4. Tool's installation(in general) should not request manual security changes (e.g. grant the write access to IRISLIB) and %YourClass is not an option.

5. It's easy to uninstall the tool - just delete the namespace/database (maybe delete some web-apps too).

I need to post data to an api which expects certain data in body, query, path and header. I am using Post method of %Net.HttpRequest class. I was able to set body and header values, but couldn't figure out how to set the query and path variables. Appreciate any assistance! Is it the SetParam method()?

Hi Community!

Suppose I have a property in a ObjectScript class:

Property values As list Of %String

What an SQL query can help to return the values of the property as JSON array via SQL access (JDBC)?

Is there a way or can it be done to use conditional logic in sql like so

 Query Q1(formal as %String) As %SQLQuery [ Final ]
{
    
    SELECT patientnumber,ID, CASE
    WHEN ID = 50 THEN "The is 50"
    WHEN ID = 30 THEN "This is 30"
    ELSE "The quantity is under 30"
END FROM Audit.Table WHERE ID = :formal AND EndDate is null} 

}

Hi community.

I'm trying to create a "setup" method to be called on a batch script but i'm getting the error <INVALID ARGUMENT> when I pass a string as an argument to this method.

The idea is to call the method with a folder as the parameter, for example:

##class(test.MyClass).MyMethod("D:\path\to\my\file.json")
 

My class (just for example)

Class test.MyClass

{
ClassMethod MyMethod(pFilePath)
{
Write pFilePath ,!
}
}

I'm using cmd as follows:

D:\>csession CACHE20172 -U %SYS ##class(test.MyClass).

I've been wondering about some code that I have come across a lot over the years.

Let's assume I have class Cinema and class Film.
Conceptually the data in these classes are never really physically deleted but only flagged as such, due to business requirements.

What I find is that developers tend to create a 3rd class "CinemaFilms", in a child relationship to parent Cinema, with a reference to Film. Rather than a one-to-many between Cinema and Film.

Suppose we need to store millions of values temporarily, that means, we don't care about them if we lose them but our application use them to get realtime information. Should I use Cachetemp or whatever other DB without journaling enabled? If answer is Cachetemp, shouldn't be a problem if we decide to scale using App Server + ECP? I'm not sure what would happen with the app logic in such architecture as I guess I couldn't map and share cachetemp...

Any idea/suggestion?

Hello.
I just noticed that whenever I parse a JSON using %FromJSON, it always return the property values as primary data types, including long strings.

I did a quick stress test to measure it's capabilities and found out that characteristic,  this is something I needed to figure out beforehand  to implement my REST lib.
What I concluded is that %Dynamic depends solely on volatile storage? What if the user doesn't have long string support enabled or if the server has not enough memory to handle long strings?
Is there a fallback for handling it?

We have a Cache database in Azure, and want to expose it as an OData source (link).

My first attempt was to use Microsoft's Visual Studio 2017 and Entity Framework to create the data models...but it seems as if EF and Cache don't work together.  (I do have those instructions from 2013, but they don't work.  (See other post. Best answer seems to be "migrate to IRIS 2019.1.")  

Is there any other form of OData support?

Hi Guys,

I want a field called UserId and it should be formed by ID and Date when it is inserted at first time.

But, unfortunately I am unable to do it with any of call back methods and Computed code since there wont be any availability of %Id().

Is there any possible way to do it ?

Hi community,

I would like to ask how to correctly enforce SSL on all "developer traffic" -- that is Management portal and Studio connections -- on a Caché instance.

Given large developer permissions, I would like to eliminate all plaintext credentials on the wire.

Currently, we compile our own httpd with SSL support for Management portal, but this breaks Add-Ins for us, in particular the SOAP wizard. So I guess this is not the "canonical way".

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi Community!

What's the limit for Namespaces and Databases for one InterSystems IRIS installation?

Yes, I checked with documentation but cannot find it at once.

I'm using Caché as an OAuth authorization server and I want to accept the password credentials grant type. I've found that if I make an authorize request, the Caché authorization server requires some URL parameters that shouldn't be required in password grant (redirect_uri, state, scope, and response_type). If I include these parameters, it calls my DirectLogin() method instead of just calling ValidateUser() as I would expect from the docs. I have two questions:

1. Why does the authorize request fail without these additional parameters?

2.

Hello ,

I have a class Method  ClassMethod SearchOBXFlag(pSourceMsg As EnsLib.HL7.Message, Identifier As %String) As %String

How can i test this method from terminal or from portal or studio.  In Terminal i am not able to pass a HL7 message to the method since it terminates after segment terminator. It should be great if i can pass a local file with the hl7 message to the function instead.

Any help will be appreciated how to pass a hl7 message to this function inorder to test.

Thanks

Jimmy Christian.
